Send digitally signed and encrypted emails when needed.With email account theft rampant these days, it is important to have up to date backups of all your emails. It is also a precaution in case I someday no longer have my Gmail account and/or move to another email service. Regularly back up all my saved emails using Apple’s Time Machine.That’s sometimes the case when I’m traveling, especially in places where Internet access is unavailable, unreliable, slow, insecure or too expensive. Effectively work offline with all my emails (searching, reading and composing), when my computer is not online.

Mail.app keeps local copies (on all my personal Macs) of all my email messages that I’ve kept (since 1994). I use Gmail’s IMAP feature with my Apple Mac OS’s built in Mail.app program.
